Measures to Ensure Safety of Mushrooms and Non-Wood Forest Products
Other than wild plants and mushrooms for which cultivation management is impossible, shiitake mushrooms, etc. cultivated using mushroom logs show variation in radioactivity concentrations.
Therefore, efforts are being made, such as the offering of support for the purchase of safe mushroom logs and measures to reduce contamination of mushroom logs and bed logs (mushroom logs wherein mushroom fungi are planted).
In order to prevent distribution of wild plants and mushrooms with radioactivity concentrations exceeding the standard limit, each local government imposes distribution restrictions on producers and farmers markets and provides them with inspection results or other information.
